Analysis of Analog Photonic Links Employing Multiple-Channel (Arrayed) Receivers

“…Analog optical links are finding increased application in commercial and military systems ranging from radio-over-fiber applications [1], antenna remoting [2,3], and optical signal processing [4]. For these fiber-based applications, single-diode receivers have been thoroughly described in the literature [5].…”

Optimized Optoelectronic/RF Probe for Low- Frequency Wireless-over-Fiber Transmissions

“…Another systems of interest may work at even lower frequencies as < 120 MHz [4]. The latter lower-frequency bands are also of interest for military defence as the use for many antennas remoting on ships, use of High-Frequency (HF) band on the battlefield, etc [4][5][6]. Many commercially available analogue fibre-optic links are designed for broadband operation and, hence, are not optimized for many narrowband or low-frequency applications.…”
